Coral’s bet of the day

• West Ham United take on Astra Giurgiu in Europa League play-offs
• The Hammers will look to grab an away goal to take to Olympic Stadium
• In testing away clash, Andy Carroll may be likely source of goals
• The targetman netted nine times in an injury plagued last season
• Carroll will look to force himself into England boss Sam Allardyce’s plans

Carroll first goal scorer at 5/1

There’s plenty of midweek European action taking place, and it’s in West Ham United’s Europa League play-off first leg tussle with Astra Giurgiu that Coral’s latest bet of the day comes from.

Slaven Bilic’s Hammers will be making the Thursday night trip to Romania as they aim to take a huge step closer to a spot in the Europa League group stage this season, and bring European football to their new home of the Olympic Stadium.

The Londoners face a testing trip to Stadionul Marin Anastasovici though and their towering frontman Andy Carroll is a promising 5/1 to open the scoring in this first leg meeting in the city of Giurgiu.

So, read on to find out why you should back this tasty Carroll first goal scorer price for the upcoming Thursday night match-up…
